Assess US veterinarians' perceptions regarding vaccine concerns (their own and owners') and the association between owners' vaccine concerns and COVID-19 antivaccination sentiments.
Members of the Veterinary Information Network.
An electronic survey distributed via the Veterinary Information Network data collection portal.
1,341 US veterinarians completed the survey. Top veterinarian concerns for vaccinating a healthy adult dog were anaphylaxis, soreness at injection site, and lethargy; for cats, these concerns included vaccine-associated sarcoma, lethargy, and soreness at injection site. Veterinarians reported that the most common concerns mentioned by owners included that the pet does not go outside, that vaccinations are unnecessary, that vaccinations can lead to chronic or severe illness, and cost. Veterinarians reported an increased number of dog and cat owners reluctant about or resistant to the idea of rabies vaccines and core vaccines since the time that COVID-19 vaccines became widely available. There was an association between veterinarians' perceptions of local COVID-19 antivaccination sentiments and the increase in the number of vaccine-resistant or -concerned clients.
There appears to be little overlap between veterinarians' primary concerns related to vaccinations and their perception of dog and cat owners' primary concerns. The fact that the number of resistant clients is positively associated with the presence of veterinarians' perceptions of a local COVID-19 antivaccination sentiment suggests that human antivaccination sentiments impact pet owners' views of companion animal vaccinations. A better understanding of the cognitive biases that impact owners' vaccine decisions can help veterinarians better communicate with vaccine-reluctant clients and increase vaccination compliance rates.
评估美国兽医对疫苗问题（自身和主人的）的看法，以及主人对疫苗的担忧与对新冠病毒疫苗的反疫苗情绪之间的关联。

通过兽医信息网络数据收集门户发布电子调查。
1341 名美国兽医完成了调查。给健康成年犬接种疫苗时兽医最关心的问题是过敏反应、注射部位疼痛和嗜睡；对于猫来说，这些问题包括疫苗相关肉瘤、嗜睡和注射部位疼痛。兽医报告称，主人最常提到的担忧包括宠物不外出、疫苗不必要、疫苗会导致慢性或严重疾病以及费用。兽医报告称，自新冠病毒疫苗广泛可用以来，越来越多的狗和猫主人对狂犬病疫苗和核心疫苗的想法表示不愿意或抵制。兽医对当地新冠病毒反疫苗情绪的看法与对疫苗有抵抗力或关注的客户数量的增加之间存在关联。
兽医对疫苗的主要关注与他们对狗和猫主人的主要关注之间似乎几乎没有重叠。对有抵抗力的客户数量的增加与兽医对当地新冠病毒反疫苗情绪的看法呈正相关，这表明人类的反疫苗情绪影响了宠物主人对伴侣动物疫苗的看法。更好地了解影响主人疫苗决策的认知偏见，可以帮助兽医更好地与对疫苗有抵触情绪的客户沟通，并提高疫苗接种率。
